UNIT OF INQUIRY
SHARING THE PLANET
Students will explore how food security depends on natural and human-made factors. Through inquiry, they will investigate the interconnected elements that impact food availability, accessibility, and sustainability. They will analyze the consequences of food insecurity and develop an understanding of their responsibility in addressing it. Students will enhance their research and social skills, working collaboratively to explore real-world examples through field trips and guest speakers, while linking their learning to the global goal of Zero Hunger.
LANGUAGE
IN MY OPINION...
Students will read and analyze opinion texts to understand how authors express ideas and support them with reasons. They will learn to form their own opinions, use facts and examples, and organize their thinking clearly. Students will write persuasive pieces using strong vocabulary, linking words, and structured paragraphs. They will develop skills in revising, editing, and using feedback to improve clarity and voice.
MATHS
DATA HANDLING
Students will learn to measure length, mass, capacity, time, and temperature using standard units. They will estimate and record measurements (to nearest 1/2 cm), understand relationships between units, and convert between them. Students will calculate perimeter and area, using square units for area. They will also read time to the minute on digital and analogue clocks and solve real-life problems involving measurement. This unit helps students build confidence in using measurement tools and understanding the connections between units.
NUMBER OPERATIONS
Students will fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies based on place value and operation properties. They will build fluency when recalling multiplication tables and derive related division facts. Students will apply properties of operations to solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They will use mental methods for exact and approximate calculations, solve two-step word problems, and check answers using estimation. This unit strengthens problem-solving skills and number sense.
